I have just picked out some parts for my first time building a Gaming PC on PCpartpicter. Was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to give it a quick run over and just confirm that its alright to go. Thx :)

Mainly you were cheaping out on the PSU when you never should, it's the literal blood of the system.

You don't need an i7 or an expensive liquid cooler for gaming either, not at the expense of a GPU.

Vastly over spending on a monitor.

Didn't have any storage devices in the list, and really a new gaming PC should pretty much have an SSD now a days. (But if you don't need HDDs/SSDs don't factor them in, the list comes in cheaper and better than your original one without them anyways.)
